I didn't know that G. Gordon Liddy was a vegetarian! How exciting. And Bush cousin, model Lauren Bush is as well. That's just great!
PETA just ran a sexiest vegetarian contest, and these are the people who won, and the list that was nominated as well. Too bad U2's drummer, Larry Mullen, didn't win. He is very, very cute and seems like a really sensitive and nice person.
Here's the piece from PETA:
The veggie voters have spoken, and American Idol winner Carrie Underwood and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin have been selected as PETA’s 2005 “World’s Sexiest Vegetarians,” narrowly edging out a host of other veggie Valentinos and Venuses, including David Duchovny, Reese Witherspoon, Joss Stone, Avril Lavigne, Joaquin Phoenix, and Prince, as well as previous winners Tobey Maguire, Andre 3000, Josh Hartnett, Alicia Silverstone, Natalie Portman, and Shania Twain.
Going green is all the rage among the red carpet set. Celebrities cite many reasons for forgoing flesh foods, from avoiding the cruelty that is inherent in all meat production to improving their health and energy levels to helping the environment by not contributing to factory-farm pollution.
Country crooner Carrie Underwood—whose new single “Inside Your Heaven” has just debuted at number one on the Billboard charts—wore a “V Is for Vegetarian” T-shirt on American Idol, sending her popularity soaring among animal lovers everywhere. While growing up on a farm in Oklahoma, the 22-year-old has said that she decided she’d rather sing to the cows than eat them. Carrie frequently mentions that vegetarian pizza is one of her favorite foods, and while making her new album, the chef in the recording studio reportedly made vegetarian barbecue for her between songs. What’s more, Carrie is also known to rescue stray animals.
Chris Martin and his band, Coldplay, have also gone to number one on the Billboard charts with their new album X & Y, which this week tops the music mag’s “Hot 200” albums list. Martin and wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, are known for their love of vegan cuisine, and they made international headlines recently when they gave daughter Apple a vegan birthday cake from Moby’s New York eatery teany.
More than 13,000 people voted in PETA’s annual “World’s Sexiest Vegetarian” poll, held at PETA.org. Below is the complete list of vegetarian celebs who were in the running in this year’s poll.
